how to sound more american
#8
I am saddened whenever I think about my accent speaking english. I arrived in the US at quite a young age and lost my french accent when speaking english. That said, i still maintain my Parisian accent when speaking french no problem. When I switch fast between the two or when I am drunk, I do start to have a French accent when speaking English, I just wish it was more prominent (and I don't want to force it, that's stupid and superficial).


Actually, some people tell me I have almost a british accent speaking english sometimes because American english has so much slurring which makes it difficult for me to pronunciate a lot of words so I try to articulate a lot (the opposite of the video where I pronounce ts like actual ts and not fast ds).


Any thoughts from other foreigners ?
